Clean and green
Australia is one of the cleanest and most environmentally progressive countries in the world. From global leadership in solar energy to some of the highest air quality standards anywhere, Australia offers a safe and sustainable environment for people, families and future generations.
Environmental quality you can see and breathe
Australia ranks first in the region for environmental quality, thanks to clean air, access to green spaces and strong environmental regulations. National and state governments track air and water quality, invest in urban greenery, and protect key ecosystems, helping cities like Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne consistently rank among the world’s most liveable.
A naturally diverse and clean environment
Australia is home to diverse natural environments, from alpine peaks and ancient rainforests to coastal dunes and red desert plains. These landscapes are protected through national and state park systems, supported by long-term conservation policies.

Global leader in solar energy uptake
Australia leads the world in rooftop solar adoption, with about one in three households now powered by the sun. This rapid uptake is supported by government incentives, competitive pricing and consistent national investment in renewable infrastructure.
Nearly 40% of electricity from renewable sources
In 2023, renewables made up close to 40% of Australia’s electricity generation—driven by solar, wind and hydro projects. This shift is underpinned by federal and state-level policies focused on accelerating clean energy delivery across the grid.
Powering the future with clean innovation
Australia is positioning itself as a leader in low-emissions technologies. Through partnerships with research institutions, industry and government agencies, new opportunities are emerging in hydrogen, battery storage, circular economy practices and clean energy exports.
Net zero commitment backed by legislation
Australia has formally committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2050. The Climate Change Act 2022 sets a 2030 target to reduce emissions by 43% below 2005 levels, with supporting measures to drive change across energy, industry and transport sectors.
